“A very rare Moog 1150 Ribbon Controller that is in good condition, considering it’s age. I believe it’s an older unit (perhaps from the Trumansburg Factory) since it does not have the silk screened lettering on the controls, nor the instruction label on the underside. The ribbon is solid and the two switches and slide pot feel functional.
I no longer have the ability to test the unit, nor do I have the breakout cable end with the female cinch jones connector. I’ve had it for many, many years and forgot I even had it! So it’s time to sell it to someone that will definitely use this unique device it to create new and interesting music.
This rare controller will only appreciate in value because they are so rare- not very many were made. It would be a great addition to any classic Moog system!
Because I can no longer test it, I am selling it as is with no returns. Good Luck!” Link

“Yep, this is it. This is the real thing, in all its 1974 analog glory. I reeeally hate to part with it, but life-changes force sale. It’s not perfect. I have uploaded very good photos, so look for yourself. You probably know the whole Minimoog story, but this instrument is truly unique with its Model 1150 Ribbon Controller. Fluid expression offers endless possibilities, again not even remotely digital. Still sounds amazing, and everything seems to work. But it really needs cleaning and calibration, and my heart’s just not in it. Its just been sitting, un-played for a long time. So, a bargain priced deal for you. For some reason the adhesive on all the labels got gooey, and the plates have slipped position. It’s also missing some of the feet, see bottom photo 12. Serial number 7519. Includes the original manual along with the Warranty Registration card (!) unfilled out. I don’t think it’s under warranty…after 38 years. I’m not the original owner, but have owned it for many years. I never took it out of my studio, but has some signs of wear and tear from the prior owner. If you are looking for some kind of mint condition Mini, one that you can play a gig right out of the box, keep looking. I see there are available keyboard bushing kits, and key contact cleaning that will probably do wonders. Some of the white keys are yellow-ish with age, and some more than others. You can bet changing power supply capacitors may help with overall thermal stability. On the other hand, maybe you’ll like it this way. It can be unpredictable like no virtual synth can even dream. I tell you, play a low key with the oscillators just out of sync, and sweep the LP filter with the Ribbon controller through a tube amp, and oh my, oh my. Oh. My. Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about. Will be professionally packed, double boxed, and shipped. ” Link

“The 1150 is a classic Bob Moog innovation. It sends CV and Gate out and is the preferred interface for many performers. This item works with early Moogs with the Cinch Jones accessory connector.

This 1150 works completely, but the gate is occasionally inconsistent if you don’t touch it in the right place (perhaps due to some oxidization on the touch plate). There is a sweet spot on the touch plate that will send gate correctly all of the time. The ribbon has a slight voltage drop once the gate is released. It will require a wiring harness (like the one included with the Moog Sample & Hold in my other auction) in order to make it useful. The cosmetic condition is very good–with some light wear here and there.” Auction ended. Click here to browse on eBay.
